| How do I... Buy a web domain? I don't want to be hosted by godaddy.com or whateever. I just want my own domain, to start my own business. The name I want currently does not show up as anything, so does that mean I can buy that? If so how do I go about doing this?

| Yes if it is not already taken you can register it as yours. However i believe that you have to have a host. i use 1and1. You do not have to use their software but you have to buy the space from someone i believe. however once your domain name is registered to you, it is yours and you can move it to a different host. But you have to pay for the name. I'll be checking back here to see if anyone else that knows more about it offers input. |

| As far as I know you do need a host site- their name does not appear in you web address it would still be ::: YOURNAME.COM :::. You don't have to register your name through the host site though, in fact I think it is recommended that you don't. That way you can change host sites if you want without any problems. I used to have a website and I hosted through godaddy with no problems. This was several years ago so I don't have the most up to date information. Are you going to give us a hint about your business idea?

| There are a lot of sites that you can use to regisgter your Domain name. This is a good one, it might cost a tad more, but it is a reliable and reputable source: Register Domain Names at Register.com | Domain Name Registration, Website Design & Hosting . I allows you to check the name you want to use to see if it is taken. |
